Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1887-06-07

The Alexandria Gazette of last
Tuesday, in noticing the meeting of
the Mt. Vernon Regents, says:
Mrs. Washington has placed piece
of Gen. Washington's coffin in the
room in which the curiosities ere
kept. One of the regents says that
the three sons of Mrs. Campbell, vice
regent of Missouri, have volunteered
to restore the deer park as it was
during Gen. Washington's lifetime,
which will prove most acceptable,
and will serve as n memento to the
memory of their mother. The West
Virginia room is filed with historic
relics of the Washington, Basset and
cambridge families, whose represen-
tative is Mrs. Washington, vice re-
gent from West Virginia.

A ToUcH1SG INcIDESr.-Capt.
Lewis Barley, the veteran pass ehger
conductor of the Valley Railroad,
who was retired on n pension by his
company on account of his long SER
vice some time ago, was here n few
nights since, and while at the Irvine
Hotel, he was the center of attraction
of large circle of friends.
The children of the hotel flocked
about the old gentleman, and seemed
perfectly delighted at the return of
their old friend, who tenderly fondled
the little ones. One little one when
she saw Capt. Barley, ran after her
playmates crying. out at the top of
her voice " Capt. Barley is come,
come on! come ont"

Good Words for Our sectionE


The Parkersburg SeatSnet, in an
article refuting unjust assertions
in the Morgantown Nes0 Dominion,
contains the following good words for
the eastern section of the State:
The large, and satisfactory major
tiles heretofore given to the State
Democratic ticket are mainly attribu-
table to the solidity of the vote from
% east of the mountains" Without
that vote West Virginia is very
doubtful State. ~s .
In the distribution of important
political places that part of the State
west of the mountains has been par
ticularly favored. In Republican
days Wood county furnished q gov
ernor for two terms, (Hon. A. 1.
Boreman), and n governor for one
term (Hon. W. f. Stephenson).-
Wood county had also the senator
ship for twelve years in the persons
of Hon. Peter G. VanWinkle and
and Hon A. /. Boreman one term of
six years each. :. 49,
Since the Democrats came into
power this county has furnished one
governor, Hon j. b. Jackson. and
one senator, Hon. ]. n. Camden.-
Kanawha county has provided one
governor, the present incumbent, and
one senator, Hon. John E. Kenna.-
Governor Jacob and Senator Davis
may be charged to the region east of
the mountains. The same proportion
will doubtless hold good in the dis
tribution of other important offices.
There are bad Demo-
Gratis there, as there are elsewhere,
but the Democratic party east of
the mountains has never yet failed
in State or national election to do
its duty. ....s-.,.

TO MYSTIC ISLAND

By the Elm City Considered to Re One
 Of the Most Popular Excursions of
 The Season.
 Tomorrow the popular excursion steamer Elm City, under the able management of MT. E. s. Barber, will make it's regular weekly excursion to Mystic Island with the Caledo- nian club, who unite with the Clan -na- Cleod society on their annual excursion. The boat leaves Belle dock at 9 o'clock in the morning and after pleasant sail of three hours and 8 half to the east, past the Thimbles and Faulkners Island, lands the excursionists at Mystic Island, which is beautiful spot in Long Island Sound about fifteen miles from New London. On the island, which is man. aged by MT. Ockford, formerly of Osprey Beach, is every facility for days pleasure, being fitted up with a large hotel, dancing pavilion, basket pavilion fitted with nice ta- bles for those wishing to take their lunches, although most of the excursionists partake of the excellent shore dinner provided for the moderate sum of half a dollar. Small steamers run between the island and New London, so that people not wishing to Fe- main until the boat returns can go to New London and return by train. Three hours and half is given excursionists on the island, after which the boat returns to this city, reaching here about 7:30 p. m. A fine orchestra furnishes music on the boat as we'll as at the island for dancing, and everything possible is done for the accommodation of the excursionists by the steamboat manage very popular. The boat makes an excursion every Thursday and some society has char tered the boat for every trip during the re- mainder of the season.

THE SUPREME COURT JUDGES.
Where They Arc Spend

Where They Arc Spending the Summer The judges of the Supreme court are now in different parts of the country. Chief Justice Waite is in Ohio. When he was at- tending the Findlay gas well celebration 6 pickpocket placed number of empty pock- etbooks in his pocket, as if to defy justice.
 Justice Blatchford is supr osed to be at the watering place which he generally makes his summer home.
 Justice Matthews is in Ohio in attendance upon his sick wife.
 Justice Miller went to the Northwest to hold court, but Congress having failed to appropriate the necessary funds for court expenses (although warned that the approp1.- ation was inadequate) he was obliged to ad- ioura the court because there was no money to pay clerks, marshals or witnesses. The justice W III not regret this enforc- vacation, which he is enjoying at Block Isleud, where he generally spends the sun1ner, or at least go much of it as members of tb's hard work ing court are allowed for rest.
 Justice Gray is in New England, but is compelled to make occasional trirs to Wash- ington to superintend the construction of the magnificent house which he is building, and which s'everybody" thinks is too lf-ge for a bachelor.
 Justice Harlan is attending cou15 in Indi- ana and Illinois, and makes occasional sits to Washington, where bis family still are.

D0RRIS, SITUATION.
He AssaiIs the Detectives Who Arrest-
 ed Him.

ed Him.
 John Doris, now in jail at Bridgeport for the robbery of Fairchild's jewelry store, has been recognized by Detective Wood as not ed crook who once resided in Sing Sing, who has been the leader in long catalogue of burglaries and who is doubtless the principal manufacturing his own tools, and his ostensi- ble business was dealing in bird cages.
 He is very severe on the Bridgeport detec- tives. ssThese detectives" he said, ''are about as much in the proper place in their present occupation as a pig would be in a lady's parlor. This man Wood had me ar rested without any evidence whatever, and then seeing what burgling job he had made of it asked me if could not help him to find out who the real offenders were. That is 6 pretty position for man of his pretensions to be in."
 He confessed to having served term ot one year in the Massachusetts house of cor rection, and continued:
 "Iu 1872 WAS arrested in New York for ate nptirg to make collections in tine false character of an official ot the water depart, ment. On the first hearing was discharged because the complainant tried to bribe to help him in dafrauding the city, but I was resrrested and on the second trial received 8 sentence of two years in Sing Sing. Since l finished that sentence I have tried to lead an honest life. don't pretend to be perfect and don't know anyone who is, but in the lest twelve years can u 1thfully say that have done nothing more criminal than to get intoxicated occasionally. But I have not associated with crooks or visited their re- sorts. So we'll have I conducted my self, in fact, that some of the pro- fessional crooks regard me as being spy in league with the authorities. But this is not true either. The statements of the Boston officer that I am an expert me- chanic, and maker of burglars implements, is entirely false. So is the statement that had trouble with my wife in Providence. I am not mechanic in any way, and never was married. This point about my never having been married I wish you would make prominent, as I have been paying attentions to a respectable woman in East Bridgeport for the last three years, and do not wish that she or her friends think have been assum- ing false character"
 He concluded by saying that he could sat- isfactoriIy account for the diamonds found on his person when arrested.
